This section includes everything that is outside of the source code but is still critical to the security of the product that is being created. Because the issues covered by this kingdom are not directly related to source code, we separated it from the rest of the kingdoms.
Azure Ansible Misconfiguration: Insecure App Service Transport
Abstract
The Ansible task defines an Azure App Service that does not enforce HTTPS communication.
Explanation
Unencrypted communication channels are prone to eavesdropping and tampering.
Serving web applications over HTTP allows attackers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks, giving them access to read or modify the data in transit over the channel.
Example 1: The following example shows an Ansible task that defines an Azure App Service that does not enforce HTTPS communication.
